Batch file to search and copy file names to new TXT file

I want to search *.cpp files in current directory and want to save the file name in *.TXT file. I did this by using the Batch command

dir |find ".cpp" > Listfile.txt

But there I am getting file name with entire paramenters like created date and size.

My need is I want only file name

Current output
06/25/2010  06:17 PM               950 4mLinuxMachine.cpp
06/28/2010  03:41 PM             4,236 Linux11.cpp

Need Output
4mLinuxMachine.cpp
Linux11.cpp

Please help Thanks

Search from the file explorer and use this shell extension to copy from the context menu: http://grebulon.com/software/copylocation.php

"This shell extension adds the ability to copy file and folder names from the Windows Explorer window to the clipboard. Simply select the file(s) whose name you want to copy, right-click and select "Copy File Path" or "Copy File Name" from the context menu. Then paste to any editor. Copy File Path - copies the entire path to the file. Copy File Name - copies only the file name without the folder."

Try:

dir /b | find ".cpp" > Listfile.txt

or better still:

dir /b *.cpp > Listfile.txt

If you don't mind installing or using cygwin tools, this task can be done like so:

find . -type f -name '*.cpp' -print > Listfile.txt

Use bare format: dir /B

dir /B |find ".cpp" > Listfile.txt

Othe options you can find using:

dir /?
